Senator Chuck Schumer faced backlash for attributing the collision of a Mexican ship with the Brooklyn Bridge to cuts in Coast Guard funding. Critics, including former Coast Guard members, contend that his comments politicized a tragedy that caused the loss of two lives. They argue that the accident was due to the ship's captain losing control after it lost power, challenging Schumer's claims and highlighting that political blame is inappropriate in such situations. This incident brings forth a broader discussion on accountability and political narratives regarding tragic accidents.
When the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapsed after a cargo ship collided into it, no one blamed then-President Joe Biden or anyone else in the government.
It’s absolutely amazing. Anything that goes on in the entire world has the Democrats screaming: "It’s Trump’s doing" - unless it’s something positive. This is getting very old.
When the captain of the Mexican ship crashed into the Brooklyn Bridge, he lost control when the boat lost power. It was also an accident, but Schumer rushed to blame President Trump.
Schumer says DOGE cuts are partly to blame for the Mexican navy ship's collision into the Brooklyn Bridge. But cuts to the US Coast Guard's staffing are in no way related to what happened.
